I'd like to ask if there's a way to center LinearLayout on its divider, not contents?
I thought of copying the width of one cell to another, so both are equal.
Here's what I'm trying to achieve:
Here's the layout:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/savings_accumulated_percentage_value_label"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Zrealizowano:"
android:layout_gravity="end"
/>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/savings_accumulated_value_label"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Zgromadzono:"
android:layout_gravity="end"
/>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/savings_target_value_label"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Cel:"
android:layout_gravity="end"
/>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/savings_target_date_label"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Data zakończenia:"
android:layout_gravity="end"
/>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/savings_accumulated_percentage_value"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="18%"
android:textColor="@color/colorAccent" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/savings_accumulated_value"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="865 zł"
android:textStyle="bold" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/savings_target_value"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="2 865 zł"
android:textColor="@color/colorPrimary"
android:textStyle="bold"
/>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/savings_target_date"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="03.07.2018"
/>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
You can use android:weightSum
property of the parent layout and android:weight
property on the child layouts to achieve this.
The general rule is weightSum = sum of all weights of all immediate children (In the example below, its 2 = 1 + 1). Although you will not get any errors if the weights are not equal but the result might not be what you expected to look like.
Here's a simple example.
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:weightSum="2"> <!-- weightSum property -->
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"> <!-- weight property -->
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="hello"/>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"> <!-- weight property -->
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="hi"/>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
